Nizoral,how much is too much?

[novice]

I'm new to the hair loss websites, so please excuse any ignorance. I have been useing nizoral twice a day for over 5 years. Could this have caused any damage or extra hair loss?

no.

Probably not, unless it makes your scalp itchy. The studies showing hair growth used it once per day to every other day, though, so twice a day may be overdoing it. Are you seeing new hairs?

I actually have been studying the effects
of Nizoral. It can be rough on your
hair because of the SLS and the
Ketoconazole (sp). My hair is very
thin and I try to stay away from
any harsh cleansers. My stylist had me
look into Regenepure DR which has the
Keto but none of the chemicals
I really liked Regenepure. I also use
Keratase conditioner but it thins out my
hair a bit so I only use conditioner a few
times a week to eliminate any potential
drying of my hair.

Not sure about hairloss but twice a day is crazy,.. Why so much?

I shower twice a day and because I live in a area that has very hard well water. Useing nizoral makes my hair look not so greasy. I have a water treatment system, but it can only do so much. Between my research and comments here, I do plan on cutting back. Thanks for all of the replies.
